By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description duczmal 2010-11-01 00:15:10 CDT

Hi,

I've filed a bug with Pidgin in regards to this but I thought I'd also include it here as there seems to be an interaction specifically with KDE3 as Pidgin starts up normally under Gnome and KDE4.

The Pidgin bug report is here:
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12834

I've attached a backtrace.

Thanks.

Backtrace for segfault

kgtk-qt3-kde3 maye be the culprit. I uninstalled it and the problem was gone.

Please see: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/pidgin-only-runs-as-root-855683/

Thanks for letting me know about that Luc.

I went to apt-get remove kgtk-qt3-kde3 but it appears to involve a large number of other packages:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  network-manager-kde-kde3 foomatic-db-gutenprint ijsgutenprint unison
  kdmtheme-kde3 adept-batch-kde3 openssl-blacklist ipsec-tools
  strongswan-ikev2 adept-updater-kde3 powernowd libfcgi0ldbl
  network-manager-strongswan openoffice.org-kde3 adept-kde3
  adept-notifier-kde3 kubuntu-default-settings-kde3 kio-apt-kde3
  network-manager-openvpn-gnome libstrongswan network-manager-vpnc
  libept0-kde3 network-manager-vpnc-gnome avahi-autoipd
  adept-manager-kde3 powermanagement-interface konq-plugins-kde3 vpnc
  openprinting-ppds libpkcs11-helper1 libdbus-1-qt3
  adept-installer-kde3 cups-pdf openvpn strongswan-nm
  openvpn-blacklist network-manager-openvpn
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED
  kgtk-qt3-kde3 kubuntu-desktop-kde3
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 258kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I'm not sure that I want to remove the kubuntu-desktop-kde3 package in the process.

I tried just temporarily moving libkgtk2.so which definitely gets rid of the segfault problem (albeit with a lot of errors around the place), now I'm just trying to get past a read error problem to make sure it's working problem.

Thanks once again.

This also makes google-chrome to cease upload / download operations. It opens GTK file dialog but nothing happens after dialog close.

gtk-kde3 was deprecated and removed from the archive quite some time ago, so I am closing this report.
